description: 'The following analytic detects the execution of suspicious PowerShell
|
|
commands associated with Meterpreter modules, such as "MSF.Powershell" and "MSF.Powershell.Meterpreter".
|
|
It leverages PowerShell Script Block Logging (EventCode=4104) to capture and analyze
|
|
the full command sent to PowerShell. This activity is significant as it indicates
|
|
potential post-exploitation actions, including credential dumping and persistence
|
|
mechanisms. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could gain extensive control over
|
|
the compromised system, escalate privileges, and maintain long-term access, posing
|
|
a severe threat to the environment.'

|
|
how_to_implement: The following analytic requires PowerShell operational logs to be
|
|
imported. Modify the powershell macro as needed to match the sourcetype or add index.
|
|
This analytic is specific to 4104, or PowerShell Script Block Logging.
|
|
known_false_positives: False positives should be very limited as this is strict to
|
|
MetaSploit behavior.
